The Holy Empire of The Germanic isles is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Carloman II with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.471 billion Germanic islesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlinistein. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Germanic islesian economy, worth 111 trillion Thalers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,789 Thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, and the nation has been sent to bed early for unspecified naughtiness. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Germanic isles's national animal is the Steinadler and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Germanic isles is ranked 164,077^th in the world and 27^th in The Germanic isles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
